Don't die because ... laugh

Dieing because laughing or laughing until death is a phenomenon that sometimes happens in reality.

No one in my life must have at least one laugh and laugh, crunching, but laughing so often that he fainted like Mr. Jim Dailakis, a 41-year-old comedian from Queens, New York City (US) is indeed very rare.

' The first time it happened, I thought I was going to die ,' Dailakis said, remembering the scene when he suddenly laughed so hard he couldn't breathe, but still couldn't stop the laugh. Dailakis laughed so that his tears were running down, his eyes exploded, then fainted.

According to Dr. Martin Samuels, Harvard University neuroscience professor, fainting while laughing may be due to excessive breathing , and this may not be very dangerous. However, that does not mean that laughing excessively does not kill. Anecdote in the 3rd century BC, the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after seeing his donkey drank wine to the point of being drunk. The more recent case of a Danish audiologist in 1989 laughed to death when watching the comedy A Fish Called Wanda.

" The good news is just as dangerous as the sad news, in terms of the possibility of sudden death ," Dr. Samuels said. He had heard of a sudden death when he hit a hole right in the hole, or won an absolute score throughout 300 bowling games, or heard the judge say that he was innocent. Death in the ' act ' is also known. And so Dr. Samuels concludes that excitement, too much fun are risks for human health.

Why is that? According to a Harvard University expert, the excessive excitement, whether sad or happy, activates the part of the brain responsible for the reaction to run away or fight back when faced with threats in the wild . This activity creates a hormone called adrenaline, which can be toxic to many internal organs in large animals, especially the heart. As a result, extreme emotional states, whether positive or negative, can harm the heart. In rare cases can be lethal.
